Summary: Teyla's thoughts during "Conversion"
Disclaimer: Not mine. Just for fun. Etc.
Since the day John Sheppard had arrived on Athos I had felt a warmth
whenever he was near. I did not give it much thought. I only knew in
my heart that I could trust him. That he could keep away the cold of
the Wraith.
When my nightmares returned I turned to that warmth. He said I could
go to him and I did. I did not realize his gift until I understood
my own. I learned quickly that I could use our connection to protect
my mind from the Wraith. How his warmth could shield me from their
consuming cold. It is this that allows me to connect with our enemy
when needed and not lose myself.
I am more afraid than I have ever been in my life. I am not
shivering from the wind but from the cold I feel taking over John. I
could sense it as we sparred today. I could feel it taint his kiss.
Even as I stand here looking out over the ocean I can feel him in
his quarters fighting it. I am trying to send my own warmth to him
because some inner sense is warning me that we have come too far,
that if the cold takes him I will never be warm again. I am afraid
because I can feel that we are losing.
